Why is it so hard to import my address book. I have the
*.pab on a floppy and when I go to add a new address book
follow all the steps it is blank no address, just an
personal address book. I have tried to import, use the
add new address feture. It is not working. Is there a
simple way to do this.
 
Check in your Contacts. I have imported and the
informatin went into Contacts. It is my understanding
that Outlook is getting away from using address book and
into using Contacts.
 
Where did you get this PAB?
PAB's have not been in use for many years now.
What version of Outlook are you using and how are you trying to import it?
 
I found it in C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. I was using
Office XP and thought that is where my address book was.
What I did do is import my *.pst file and that got the
address in the contact folder but I cannot use the
address when I want to send an e-mail. I haven't figured
out how to make it work. Any sugestions?
 
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.
